President Biden is expected to meet with King Charles III and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak next week before heading to Lithuania to attend the NATO summit during a pivotal time in the Russia-Ukraine war, the White House announced Sunday.
Biden is scheduled to travel to the United Kingdom, Lithuania and Finland from July 9-13, with his first stop in London. The president will partake in several engagements with King Charles and Sunak "to further strengthen the close relationship between our nations," according to a White House statement credited to press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Biden will then travel to Vilnius, Lithuania, from July 11- 12 for the 74th NATO summit, and is scheduled to visit Helsinki, Finland, for a U.S.-Nordic leaders summit just one day later. The White House said additional details related to the president's travels will be announced at a later date.
"The prime minister looks forward to welcoming the U.S. President Biden in the U.K. later this month," a 10 Downing Street spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "This reflects the strong relationship between the U.K. and U.S., building on a series of bilateral visits and meetings earlier this year. We’ll set out further detail in due course."
